In 1983, Patricia Clarke gave birth to Kevin Robert Clark, a massive baby
weighing over 16 pounds. He was the largest infant born at Community Memorial
Hospital and possibly all of New Jersey at the time. Despite his unusual size,
Kevin was healthy and became an instant celebrity, appearing on âSaturday Night Liveâ and âGood Morning America.â
Kevinâs height continued to make headlines as he grew to 5â7âł by age 12 and 6â5âł
by junior high. He joked about his height, saying, âI like to joke that Iâm 5-foot-21.
When people ask if I play basketball, I ask them if they play miniature golf.â
Today, at 40, Kevin stands at 6â9âł and has grown accustomed to the attention.
âThere isnât a day that goes by when someone doesnât ask me how tall I am,â he said. Kevin, a former soldier,
now lives with his 6-foot-tall wife and Great Dane. He has learned to navigate the world with his extraordinary stride.
